What's love got to do with it?

 Valentine’s Day has been recognize as a day to focus on love. To remember those that are special to us with cards, flowers, and other expressions of affection. Yet, at times we may wonder or question if its inspired by love, guilt or obligations?
Is this “love” just a temporary emotional triggered by the day on the calendar or is this a love that will last? This is a time when Believers must turn back and focus on their faith and what love really is.
​When we remember that God Himself is love (1 John 4:8), that love is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and that God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8), then we will understand  that this "LOVE"  is relevant everyday of the year. The Bible states, that love “does not envy” or draw attention to itself, nor that its “puffed up” and it does not rejoice in others mistakes, or weakness but will look for the best in everyone. This love “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” When people fail us God’s love is  dependable. It “never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:4-9). The Bible reminds us that the reason we can love others is that God first loved us. That we are all recipients of that love, and that this love is sincere. Its great for us to express our love to others. But may we never forget to let the love of God flow through our lives daily.
